The Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act is about putting the flavor of real chocolate back into the world! The real chocolate relief act is a program sponsored by Mars to give away 250,000 free chocolate bars every Friday through October 2009. Mars is proud of the fact that they have real chocolate – they claim their chocolate does not have artificial flavoring, but rather the flavor comes from the real cocoa butter it uses. They claim when you are buying chocolate to steer clear of packaging that uses the terms “chocolate flavor”, “chocolate coating”, “chocolaty”, or “made with chocolate”, and rather stick with items that say “milk chocolate,” “semi-sweet chocolate” or “bittersweet chocolate” to ensure you get not just the best flavor, but real chocolate in what you are buying.
To enter the chocolate candy bar giveaway, visit Mars Chocolate Relief.

Frozen yogurt is another favorite summer flavor. Frozen yogurt has a flavor that is similar to that of ice cream or sherbet, but it’s not as rich. It is much lighter tasting, and the flavors are usually as abundant as the flavors of ice cream – you’ll find vanilla frozen yogurt, chocolate frozen yogurt, strawberry frozen yogurt, and everything in between. What draws people to frozen yogurt is that it’s usually seen as a much healthier alternative to ice cream as it is much lower in fat.
There is a pretty good frozen yogurt recipe here. Basically, the recipe involves using vanilla, milk, sugar, gelatin, salt, corn syrup, and of course plain yogurt. You cook some of the ingredients, let them cool, combine the rest, chill them, then pour into an ice cream machine and freeze. The recipe above gives you the specifics.
We’ve already discussed Classic Ice Cream Flavors, so let’s discuss some weird ice cream flavors. Here are some of the weirdest flavors of ice cream I’ve seen….and most of them are Japanese ice creams! Seems they have the most unusual flavors….
1. Octopus Ice Cream – A Japanese specialty, octopus ice cream is an ice cream flavor that will not appeal to everyone. Part delicacy, part weirdness, octopus ice cream has to be number one on this list!
2. Bacon and Egg Ice Cream – Yes, this one is true – I am not making this up. Apparently some British restaurant named The Fat Duck serves it.
3. Chicken Wing Ice Cream – Another Japanese specialty – ice cream that actually has the flavor of fried chicken wings. MMMmmmm…
4. Eel Ice Cream – Yes, another Japanese flavor!
5. Wasabi Ice Cream – Japanese of course. A tangy-wasabi flavored ice cream.
Frozen fruit smoothies recipes here for your review right in time for summer! The fruit is the main ingredient of the fruit smoothie – and because of this, smoothies come in as many flavors as there are fruits.
In order to change it up a little bit for summer, try this twist on your fruit smoothie: make it frozen! A frozen fruit smoothie is ideal for summer, and you can make it in a variety of refreshingly cool summer flavors…you might try the frozen Key Lime Smoothie (key limes of course being the main ingredient), or how about a frozen banana-strawberry fruit smoothie?! Or what about a frozen melon fruit smoothie? Just the sound of these smothies is enough to cool you off!
Here’s a great recipe for a frozen fruit smoothie:
buy a bag of frozen mixed fruit (I like to buy mine in bulk from Sam’s – it gives enough fruit to make smoothies for an entire month!) Add about 2.5 cups of frozen fruit, about 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of apple juice or orange juice, then sweeten the whole mixture with honey! Mix it in a blender until it’s all blended together the consistency of a thick shake.
It makes a delicious and refreshing drink – and not only are fruit smoothies flavorful and refreshing but they are also very healthY! Try it and make this fruit drink the flavor of your summer!

What makes for a good lemonade flavor? The best lemonade should be slightly sour in flavor, and sweetened only enough to reduce it from being sour enough to make your face cringe. In other words, lemonade should not be very very sweet…err on the side of being sour. As for Frozen lemonade, keep in mind that you drink frozen lemonade when it is hot, so you want it to be refreshing. If you make it too sweet, you’ll be dissatisfied with it, and you’ll want water. Therefore, you want to keep frozen lemonade slightly sour in flavor as well.
How do you make frozen lemonade? A good recipe for frozen lemonade that comes out with a good flavor is:
- approx. 1 cup of lemon juice, 3 cups of crushed ice, 3/4 cup of sugar, 3/4 cup of water. Put in the blender and blend!
Enjoy!!
